NASCAR decided to eliminate practices on the Superspeedways, so that means the Cup Series teams did not have any time to dial in their cars for the race. They lined up the cars for qualifying and set the field for the Quaker State 400. This is going to make predicting this race a bit tougher, but there are a handful of drivers who have run well in all three races on the reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Final Driver Rankings will not look much different from the Early Week Driver Rankings, but I did move a few drivers up the list based on their qualifying position.
Here is my updated Driver Rankings for the Quaker State 400 in Atlanta…
